Alternergy commissions 15.3 MWp solar PV with 12.9 MWh
Alternergy Holdings Corp. has announced the commencement of commercial operations for its first international energy project, a 15.3 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) farm with a 12.9 MWh
Solar electricity will be produced by a hybrid 15.3 MWdc (13.2 MWac) solar photovoltaic (PV) plus 10.2 MWac/12.9 MWh battery energy storage system facility. Extensive safeguards to protect Palau's pristine environment SPEC did not leave any stone unturned to protect the pristine Palau ecosystem.
The Palau Solar Battery Project will be the largest such project in the Western Pacific. It will lessen Palau's imported fuel dependency, a major step towards its ambitious goal of 100%.
For the project site, SPEC leased 16 hectares of clear savannah land in Ngatpang State on Babeldaob, Palau's largest island. This land is largely clear of forest cover, but numerous changes were made to the solar array layout to avoid cutting any tree and leave nearby forested areas untouched.
